Sessions allow users to save snapshots of the Genome Browser and its current configuration, including displayed tracks, position, and custom track data. The Public Sessions tool allows users to easily share those sessions that they deem interesting with the rest of the world's researchers. You can add your own sessions to this list by checking the appropriate box on the Session Management page.

Description: Educational: evolution. Dog chr6 showing cat synteny -- no major rearrangements between the two closely related animals. Rat and mouse, however, both show many rearrangements (different colors) relative to dog and cat, but the breakpoints are the same -- showing that mouse and rat are closely related to each other.Author: ExampleSession Name: canFam3_catRatMouseGenome Assembly: canFam3Creation Date: 2017-11-01Views: 54

Description: This session is demonstrating the exon-only mode of the multi-region feature. The exon-only mode uses the GENCODE v22 track to slice up the normal display and remove both intronic and intergenic regions from the display. Only those regions covered by exons, both coding and noncoding, are left in the display. For more on the multi-region display see the user guide: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/multiRegionHelp.html.Author: mspeirSession Name: hg38_exonOnlyExampleGenome Assembly: hg38Creation Date: 2016-06-20Views: 79

Description: This session displays a region of the LHX6 gene that highlights a selection of the new tracks added in the previous year for the hg38/GRCh38 human assembly. The tracks shown in this display (from top to bottom) include GENCODE Genes V22, transcription levels assayed across 9 ENCODE cell lines, DNase hypersensitive regions based on data from 95 ENCODE cell lines, genome-wide conservation scores calculated using phastCons, a multiple genome alignment created using Lastz and Multiz, and pathogenic CNVs from the ClinGen database.

Description: Session highlights a mouse-specific repeat on chromosome 12. You can see the gap in the 60-way vertebrate alignment surrounding the repeat, which is highlighted in light blue. The repeat is classified as a LINE and is part of the L1 family of repeats. Additionally, on the far right-hand side of the display, you can see the retrotransposed Bf3 gene.

Description: This session demonstrates the GTEx track on the human assembly hg19. The GTEx track shows data from the NIH Genotype-Tissue Expression project and displays expression data for each gene, based on GENCODE gene models, from 51 tissues collected from 570 individual. This session also demonstrates the gene-only mode of the multi-region feature, which removes intergenic regions from the display.Author: mspeirSession Name: hg19_gtexAnnouncementGenome Assembly: hg19Creation Date: 2016-06-24Views: 87
